—REVOLUTIONARY MULTI-CAMERA INTERFACE DELIVERS FIVE CONCURRENT VIDEO STREAMS TO DIGGNATION VIEWERS, PUTTING THEM IN CHARGE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER—

San Francisco, CA – November 21, 2008 – Forget holograms, the next real video breakthrough is here from Internet video pioneers Revision3 and BitGravity. On November 21st at 6 p.m. EST, Revision3 will unveil a one of a kind episode of its hit show, providing a unique, interactive way for viewers to watch hosts Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht discuss the week’s top stories from Digg.com.

Using breakthrough technology from Internet video network BitGravity, fans will get to choose from five simultaneous and separate video streams, putting them in control of what they watch. Episode #177—”Your Diggnation Remix”—will be available at http://www.revision3.com/remix.

“Diggnation was the first successful social video program featuring some of the top content voted on by the Digg community,” said Jim Louderback, CEO, Revision3. “Now we’re taking that to the next logical level, letting viewers control camera angles and other elements of the viewing experience. It’s a brand new and revolutionary way to give our viewers even more control, and more ownership, of the programs they love.”

“Internet users have these amazing computers and high speed Internet connections; there’s no reason we have to replicate what we see on TV over the Internet—we have the opportunity to change the experience, play with new ideas, and allow available technology to take us to the next step. We’re here to enable innovation and change the way people get their entertainment—it’s pretty amazing what can be done by simply having fun with our API,” said Barrett Lyon, CTO and co-founder of BitGravity.
